Low-budget planters offer an easy, simple, and affordable way to create outdoor spaces with charm and tons of personality.

Whether simple and inexpensive DIY projects or repurposed household stuff, with some creativity, anyone can come up with a unique planter.

Think out of the box and check your garage and basement for unused items that make statement containers.

Garage sales and thrift stores are also places to find vintage pieces that usually can be transformed into attention-grabbing pots to plant greenery and enliven any garden.

Actually, anything from old tires to cans and barrels to glass and plastic bottles to broken chairs to wheelbarrows can become a garden container. Fill it with your favorite flowers and dress up your outdoors.

Forget about the mundane ceramic pots and let your imagination go wild. Sometimes, even the most ordinary household items used as planters add touches of whimsy and turn a so-so outdoor space into a dream-come-true piece of paradise.
